>>27436097I am in the minority of liking it.
I was not advocating for it, but when it came out when it did. I saw why GameFreak decided to implement it. I feel like it was a callback to Pokemon Stadium where you saw your opponent's team and then you and your opponent hand picked 3 Pokemon out of your 6 to battle with.
This system would make official vgc battles emulate those classic battles and I have an extreme bias to anything Stadium related. It also probably made matches go by faster by the mentality of knowing your opponent's team.
